DAVID GILLICK: "I think she will go back to America" | Birmingham's Irish Athletics Boom | Adeleke's Future

For a last episode of Word on the Street for a few months, Susanna brings you a brilliant chat with Irish athletics legend David Gillick, fresh back from Birmingham and the unforgettable week for Irish track and field.

Gillick reflects on the sea of Irish fans, the moments that defined the championships, and why the real story goes deeper than medals — from top-10 finishes to the team culture driving the next generation.

He also dives into Rhasidat Adeleke’s future across 200m and 400m, the impact of injuries, and the parallels with his own tough spell in the States.

Plus, a quick note from Susanna on what’s next for Word on the Street!

Thank you all for listening over the past year,

Susanna, Rachel, Eve & Bronagh
